Removing ‘Shine’ Selectively

Not being a professional cameraman or having access to make-up artists, my camcorder videos have their share of imperfections. In particular, right now, I am trying to find a way to reduce the ‘shine’ from surfaces. For example, if a light is too bright, a person’s face will shine and obliterate most of the facial features.

I’m looking for recommendation for Avisynth filters that can help to SELECTIVELY reduce such hot spots. I know I can correct it by adjusting gamma, brightness and contrast, but these will then affect the entire image. I’m hoping that there is some approach available that would, via a threshold-type mechanism, just work on these hot spots, leaving the rest of the image untouched.
